Neil, You might want to "download" the latest Samba from CVS. Check out the Web site on how to do this. There has been an issue fixed in late December 2002 (a + 4GB issue) using smbclient.

Wondering if anyone knows if it is planned, or if there are
patches for large file support in the client side of samba 2.2.x
series. I have large files on the windows side that I want to
access via smbclient (specifically smbtar), and these fail spectacularly. You can get the filesize of a large file correctly, but all the code that talks to the windows side (cli_*) assumes size is 32-bit, and doesn't seem to be using the newest CIFS protocol.
Any advice or suggestions?

PS I am aware the smbfs provides support for large files, but this is linux specific and I am targetting Solaris.
